A ride sent straight from Cloud 9
Nothing’s more relaxing than a day at the beach. We designed Chatham with that same easy-going, relaxed vibe you’re craving. Our cushiest saddle and squishy grips make an endless day in the sun sound more enjoyable than you ever imagined possible.
Coast smoothly and brake effortlessly
Chatham-1 is built for carefree riding. Pedal along with the simplicity of a single-speed bike. Easily come to a stop by gently pedaling backward with Chatham-1’s built-in coaster brake.

What's My Size?
Your inseam can help you find the perfect sized bike (measuring it properly is similar to pant inseams but measured a little differently). Here's how they work:
- Stand upright with your feet 6-8" apart.
- Using a tape measure or tailor tape, measure from the bottom of your foot to the top of the inside of your leg.
- Compare your inseam measurement to the standover height of the bike. You should have about an inch of space between your body and the top tube.

Knock on wood, but thus far the bike has performed very well. I ride it harder than intended, and the hubs and wheels and cranks have withstood what I’ve put them through. Nothing crazy - but on the upside I’m of mod-med riding. Tons of appreciation from others looking on. Couldn’t be happier thus far.

Nice bike. Very fair price. Fast, free shipping. Would love to buy a 29 inch with a few gears from you guys if you ever decide to build one. Put me on the list. Sharp looking and smooth riding bike. Put rod holders on the back and surf fish with it - along with other short trips. Thanks

I love my cruiser. It was just what I needed for just a leisure ride, while working a few muscles from the manuel pedal. Retrospec knocked it out the park with this bike.

United StatesHusband loves it!
Bought this as a birthday gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it. Says it rides smooth and is not that heavy for long distance travels. Very pleased with this purchase. We've also purchased helmets to go with and they're great too.

Terrific reminder of the days gone buy. A bike with one speed and no hand brakes. Easy assembly and very prompt shipping. Quality bike. Very happy with purchase.
